Clemency is proof of just how effortlessly [Woodard] can lead a film.
A masterwork.
Woodard, unshowy and preternaturally still, offers us a stubborn professional being steadily eaten up by her involvement with the glacially slow killing-machine.
It takes an actor of Woodard's calibre to show us how Bernadine arrived at this point, and why she finds herself so conflicted.
Clemency is one of those deliberately harrowing movies that leaves you feeling elated. The very precision of the film-making gives you a sense of hope.
The moral and ethical debates around the death penalty rarely touch on the toll it takes on the people involved, but that's the grey area writer-director Chinonye Chukwu explores with a humanist's touch and an keen ear for all her characters.
